suprz_rz Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 that photo looks like one from the Jap auction house. see my avatar. same type of pic. Could be legit, could be they want to get people to phone them wanting it, saying "its just been sold, but we can get you another" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldudereno Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 Managed to give them a ring at lunchtime, they say that they have now taken a deposit on the car. Total b*llicks in my view, don't think it was ever available. It's just been put on there as a carrot as they are saying there are other cars they can source for me.

Guest Sakura Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 When I was looking for my Supra I saw them posting the same ads all the time, and like you I have seen that one advertised regularly. Isn't Conventus the same company as Bonsai Cars ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Nope it does not exist. Yes coventus is also Bonsai I know as I used to help with the company... Also I went and saw a gunmetal car there with HEAVY damage. Was not very impressed. The cassis had been properly done in!! BY THE WAY THIS DOES NOT LEAVE THIS FORUM...

Macer Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Unfortunately there are no model reports available for Twin Turbo Supra's at the moment, I think there's one for the non turbo though, I may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teri Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 the gunmetal supra is in the country - it does exist and has never been accidented. It has been withdrawn from sale because of the model report issue. All vehicles that are listed are actual vehicles that have been purchased and we do sell quite a few.

eldudereno Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 It's still for sale on the Autotrader website, it's been there for months and months. I was told 3 or 4 months ago that a deposit had been taken and that the car was no longer available??? Come clean, it's only there as a carrot to potential buyers.

Teri Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I can only apologise - the guys at Autotrader were supposed to remove it. It will be gone by Monday. It will still be on our website as we deal all over the world not just the UK so they will not have the same problems that we face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if it can't be put on the road legally....what are you going to do with it? Or is it wearing a clone plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teri Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 We are trying to get it through a loophole - or wait till there is a model report. Unfortuantley its a bit too rare to have a clone plate on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
